Police in Shreveport say a cigarette bandit has struck twice, armed first with a baseball bat, then with a box-cutter.

The latest robbery happened Friday morning. Police said a suspect armed with a box cutter entered a store at a gas, went behind a counter and threatened employees. He demanded cigarettes and got away with a trash bag full of them.

An investigation determined that the same man robbed a convenience store Sunday morning. That time, he used a baseball bat to hold a clerk at bay while he loaded up a trash bag with cartons of cigarettes. In each case, the suspect wore a white T-shirt, khaki pants and brown work boots.
